Cassidy sweater in Inca Gold

Hello. I am so excited to show you my newest FO! This was the Knit A Long that several people participated in over the past couple of months. The pattern is by the very talented Bonne Marie Burns. The yarn is Berroco’s Inca Gold in the Terracota colorway. The Inca Gold is a worsted weight yarn with 80% Merino and 20% silk. It was so nice to work with and I feel it really held the cables well on this sweater.

I did do some modifications on the sweater. I kept the sts live on the shoulders after completing short rows as I feel that a three needle BO would hold up better for me. Another modification I made was I kept the sts live as I moved from the back to the hood. While this made the knitting easier I am not sure it was the best choice because I think that strength needed to be there. I may go back and do a single crochet along that section for reinforcement. The last modification that I made on the sweater was do pick up all of the sts needed for the button bands and hood onto one 40″ circular needle and worked a multiple of 4 sts in 2X2 ribbing. This eliminated the seam at the top center of the hood.

Some others in the Knit A Long made different modifications and some made no modifications at all. I would love for them to share here once they are complete their project!

The next Knit A Long will be a summer tank knit with racer-back styling and lace panels at the sides.
It is called Sebring; come join us!
